Ch13 Modern Understandings of Inheritance

individual with an error in chromosome number; includes chromosome segment deletions and duplications

• aneuploid
• karyotype
• nondisjunction
• trisomy

any of the non-sex chromosomes

• autosome
• euploid
• nondisjunction
• homologous recombination

relative distance that corresponds to a 0,01 recombination frequency

• centimorgan (cM) (also map unit)
• homologous recombination
• euploid
• recombination frequency

theory proposing that chromosomes are the genes' vehicles and that their behavior during meiosis is the physical basis of the inheritance patterns that Mendel observed

• Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
• aneuploid
• autosome
• karyogram

detachment, 180° rotation, and chromosome arm reinsertion

• chromosome inversion
• monosomy
• karyogram
• translocation

individual with the appropriate number of chromosomes for their species

• euploid
• translocation
• autosome
• pericentric

process by which homologous chromosomes undergo reciprocal physical exchanges at their arms, also crossing over

• homologous recombination
• translocation
• nonparental (recombinant) type
• aneuploid
